Hello, my name is Ronald Washington III and I am a senior at Rowe-Clark Math & Science Academy. I am currently 17 years old and am interested in majoring in Computer Science in college. My hobbies consist of coding, dealing with electronics, learning of Japanese culture, watching anime, and expanding my YouTube channel.

Week of January 26 - 30
Over the course of this week my class learned about the Theory of Relativity relating with Special and General Relativity.



Week of January 26 - February 11
Over the past two weeks we have learned about the Sun and how it functions, creates energy, and is able to create its necessary properties.
1. Sun's Radius2. Sun's Age3. Able to determine the fractional amount of mass loss converted into energy

Week of Feb 16 - Feb 18


This week we learned about Optics and the Law of Reflection.

1. The behavior of the reflected light depends on the type of surface and the angle at which the light strikes the surface.
2. Mirrors cause specular reflection because of it having a smooth surface and parallel light rays are reflected in parallel.
3. Rough surfaces cause diffuse reflection where light is scattered off.

What is a white dwarf?
  • A white dwarf is a very dense star the size of a planet
  • The white dwarf mass is comparable to the Sun and it’s volume is comparable to the Earth
  • A white dwarf is the remnants of a Red Giant


What is a the lifespan of a white dwarf?external image image?w=316&h=134&rev=302&ac=1
  • When the white dwarf no longer goes through fusion reactions it no longer has any more energy.
  • A white dwarf is stable once formed and will continue to cool almost indefinitely; eventually, it will become a black white dwarf, also called a black dwarf. There has been no recorded so far about black dwarfs.
